Pro-Life Members of Congress Say Human Beings Killed in IVF Need Protected Too
A trio of pro-life congressmen, led by Rep. Josh Brecheen, R-OK, penned a letter to the Biden administration's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this week, demanding accountability for the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) industry's destruction of human lives.

Pro-Life Advocate Suffers Stroke After She's Placed in Solitary Confinement for 22 Days

The Fullness of Life: Bishop Erik Varden's Resurrection of Chastity
While Lent offers us a clear path of conversion, turning away from the world, Easter invites us into God's own life. In Lent, we seek to die with Christ; in Easter, we must live with him. It appears an anticlimactic season after the rigors of prayer and fasting, but Lent is ordered to Easter as a period of training to live a more joyful and integrated life in Christ.

The Transgender Conveyor Belt
Why are rates of transgender identification skyrocketing? One cause is often overlooked: the law. Multiple laws channel kids down the path of gender transition, creating a powerful "transgender conveyor belt." Here's how it works.

Embryos as Schrodinger's Persons

Student activists for Palestine urgently need a makeover
The body count keeps rising in Gaza, so it is only sensible to express concern. Whether or not this is a genocide is an open question, but it should be beyond dispute that the IDF have been reckless in their approach, as the number of civilian casualties is grotesquely disproportional to their military objectives.

The appeal of anti-establishment politics is a symptom of a broken political system
The past few years have seen the steady rise of populist, anti-establishment politics across a broad swathe of the West. In the mouths of its defenders, populism is liberation from the yoke of global domination. In the mouths of its critics, it is cheap demagoguery and the greatest threat to rule of law we have seen in generations. A true diagnosis requires a form of analysis that digs beneath the slogans of both populists and their critics.

Planned Parenthood Puts 86% of Its Abortion Centers in Black Communities to Kill Black Babies

Human Dignity and Shady Characters

It appears today that the truth is not important anymore. What is important is to do what is "politically correct", not what is right. Our involvement in politics should be driven by the uncompromising belief that no one is worthless and that truth is paramount. For this reason, we, as Christians, defend the Right of the unborn to live. It is also the reason why we stand against suicide and euthanasia. We do not have a right to kill people because they are near death and need our help. Our witness to the dignity of human life also requires that we speak up against unjust wars, (eg. Ukraine, Gaza), for migrants who are fleeing violence (eg. Somalia, Kenya) and other hardships (eg. North Korea, Afghanistan). These people have dignity no matter what language they speak and no matter what religion they practice. The same is true for prisoners. No matter what crimes they have committed, their lives still matter and they still deserve to be treated with respect. As Christians, we must give voice to all those people whom the world says are worthless. When it comes to human dignity, we cannot make any compromises. Period! The world needs our witness more than ever. So let us not be afraid to speak up for those who are so often forgotten and overlooked. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Ethical Perspectives

New! Yes, your child is being targeted by online predators

Kimberly Ells
For many parents, the day they find out their child is being approached, targeted, educated, and manipulated by strangers on his or her digital devices is the day they finally take seriously all the warnings and admonitions about phone and digital device use they have heard for years.

New! The Vocations of Woman: The Feminism of Edith Stein

John F. Doherty
If our society is to answer the question "What is a woman?" we will have to think more about how women can integrate their professions with their femininity, without stifling it, and about the value of the virtues that women on average exemplify better than men. Considering Edith Stein's thoughts on these questions is an excellent way to start.

New! The Vatican Statement on Human Dignity

John Stonestreet
Though his statement specified that priests were not to perform such blessings during Mass and were only blessing individuals but not sanctioning the relationships as morally acceptable, progressive Catholics and observers saw the statement as a step toward acceptance of same-sex "marriage" within the Roman Catholic church. In contrast, the Vatican's latest declaration left no such ambiguity, especially about issues related to sexuality and "gender."

New! Macron Presses Hard to Promote Abortion Worldwide

Steven Mosher
Emmanuel Macron, President of France, has been championing "abortion rights" for years.

Fighting Assisted Suicide, Jersey Style
